Doctor Who: Afterlife stars Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor (seen on TV from 1987-1989, and in the 1996 TV movie) alongside Sophie Aldred as Ace and Philip Oliver as Hex, appearing in flashback. It guest stars Amy Pemberton as Sally Morgan, and Jean Boht - best known from her role as legendary matriarch Nellie Boswell in Bread - as Hilda Schofield, Hex's nan.

Writer Matt Fitton says: 'Even though I knew what was coming, the end of Gods and Monsters left me drained. There's no doubt the aftermath of those events puts the Doctor and Ace in a very dark place. And that's what I wanted to explore in Afterlife. Has Ace's faith finally been shattered? And what does the player of games do when he's run out of moves? Hex may be gone, but I wanted him to loom large over this story as Ace makes the Doctor face the consequences of his actions. In doing so, they pay tribute to Thomas Hector Schofield, seeking out his family and friends to tell them something of his adventures. Meanwhile one Private Sally Morgan is trying to find her own peace, which brings her to 2020's Liverpool too... Perhaps by remembering Hex, they can all move on. But is it the end of the road, or a new beginning?'
